Journey to the West

And like the great Monkey King, "Wu Kong", in the Chinese masterpiece, "Journey to the West", there is a cosmic blizzard of unseen electromagnetic energy attracting African Americans back to Africa. In the same breath, a legion of diverse and minority tech founders are trekking to Silicon Valley. It appears the Afrobots have all enjoined in a race against time. A race to move beyond race. A race to be the next negro to make the "Billion Dollar Monkey Face."
Many of you who are adherents of, and deeply sympathetic to Dr. William Shockley's radical indoctrination based on racist beliefs might compare our migration to Silicon Valley with the well-worn Cockroach Theory. What is the Cockroach Theory? An investment concept that promulgates when a corporation shares negative news about earnings, operations, or prospects, smart investors should run. Why? Because investors can expect more negative news in the near future based on the observation that when you see one cockroach, there are many more nearby, hidden in the cracks, lurking in the musty damp darkness, waiting to devour your "crumbs." Best believe, I am not your Negro! And I am surely not our cockroach!
